Fa F1 4 50mm Pins and Buttons

Danbo's mother watches on as Danbo learns how to use a graphing calculator.

Danbo contemplates the meaning of life.

The Danbos got stuck in the peg basket, and now they can't get out!

I got a phone call the morning I took this photo telling me my mother was in the hospital. I found it really rough because I was so far away and I just wanted to be at her side. Love you Mom, and wish I could have given you this flower myself!

October is Danbo's favourite time of year in Brisbane because the jacarandas carpet the entire city in purple.

Danbo got a bit scared when he realized his neighbor was a pizza-eating, nunchuk-toting mutant turtle!

The Danbos trekked all day in search of the elusive end of the rainbow. As the sun was beginning to set, they stumbled upon it. In their exhaustion, one collapsed near the source of the rainbow while the other stood and gave thanks to whoever was watching from above. I just thought such cute characters needed a cute story to go with them :)

It's tough learning to read when the book is three times your size.

My Danbos arrived! For those that don't know, Danbo is a character in the manga Yotsuba&! that Amazon decided to adopt as its unofficial mascot in Japan. The figures are absolutely adorable! Little Danbo needs to learn about the world from his mother, so where else to start but with Apple? :-P

The Danbos find a very interesting piece of machinery in their backyard. What could it have done to have deserved such treatment? This is my old Sony Vaio laptop. Believe me, it deserved this fate very much--in 2 years, the DVD player, fan, SD card reader, webcam, keyboard, and motherboard all failed, yet Sony would do next to nothing to help me with it (at one point, they told me to just go on YouTube to find instructions on how to take the computer apart and then to try to fix it myself!). I figured after the motherboard died that it would be therapeutic to sledgehammer it to death (after removing all the still-functioning parts), since it cost less at that point to just buy a new computer!

Typical brothers, arguing over pieces of a destroyed laptop... This is the third in my "I'm a PC, I'm a Mac" Danbo series.
